MicroSurvey CAD 2013 (v13.0.1.3) Notes

New Features

Powered by IntelliCAD 7.2

MicroSurvey CAD 2013 is built on the latest IntelliCAD engine, IntelliCAD 7.2. See below for a summary of new IntelliCAD features.

Google Maps™ Support

View your points in Google Maps by clicking new Map buttons located in both the Single Point Editor and the Active Coordinate Editor.

Select MsPoints | Store and Edit Points or MsPoints | Active Coordinate Editor from the menus, or type EDITP or COORDEDIT at the command line.

Google Earth™ Support

Export your points and linework to a .kml or .kmz file and view them in Google Earth.

Select MsPoints | Other Program Ties | Export to Google Earth from the menus, or type WRITEKML at the command line.

AutoMAP Substitution Codes

Access field-coded parameters directly from your point descriptions and automatically include them in your plotted annotations.

Substitution codes follow the familiar LDD syntax, and include $0 to substitute the code, $1-$9 to substitute the first through ninth space-delimited parameter following the code, $+ to substitute all parameters following the code, $* to substitute the entire description including the code plus all parameters, and $$ to substitute a literal "$" character.

For example, specify a plotted description like $1 TREE (ht=$2’, trunk dia=$3”) in AutoMap to dynamically label your TREE points like TREE OAK 9 12 and TREE ELM 6 8 as OAK TREE (ht=9’, trunk dia=12”) and ELM TREE (ht=6’, trunk dia=8”).

AutoMAP Leading Wildcards

Use AutoMap entries with a leading wildcard like *CODE, a trailing wildcard like CODE*, or both a leading and trailing wildcard like *CODE* to make partial matches of your point descriptions.

For example, an AutoMap entry like *IP* will now match points with descriptions like "NW CORNER IP BENT" and you can use the new Substitution Codes described above to produce appropriate plotted descriptions.

Distance Labeling Options

Include a customizable prefix and/or suffix in your distance annotation defaults.

Include a unit symbol (' or m) in your distance annotation defaults. (Previously only ' was supported.)

Select MsAnnotate | Labeling Defaults | Distances from the menus, or type CNF_EDIT_DISTANCES at the command line.

Slope Labeling Command

A new Slope Labeling command is available with options to label the % Slope, Degrees from Vertical, or Degrees from Horizontal along a line.

Select MsAnnotate | Add Line Labels | Label Slope from the menus, or type LABEL_SLOPE at the command line.

Draworder Wizard

A new Draworder Wizard command is available to help you quickly fix the most common draworder issues, such as moving raster images and hatches to the back of your drawing, and moving wipeouts, blocks and annotations to the front.

Select MsTools | Draworder Wizard from the menus, or type DRAWORDERWIZARD at the command line.

Import Improvements

When importing a FieldGenius or TDS raw file containing GK (GPS stakeout) records, they are now imported into the traverse file.

When recoordinating a traverse file, an Abort option is now available on the point protection dialog.

When importing an ASCII coordinate file, an Abort option is now available on the point protection dialog.

List Unused Points in Range

The List Unused Points command has a new option to specify a point range for your search.

Select MsPoints | List Points (Used and Unused) | List Unused Points, or type LIST_UNUSED at the command line.

Import Leica DBX

Import points, linework, and raw TPS/GPS observation data directly from Leica DBX databases.

Select MsTraverse | Read Collector Files In | Leica DBX from the menus, or type DBXIN at the command line.

Ladder Table Report

Write a ladder table report showing station and offset values for selected points in a ladder format.

Select MsTools | Print/Edit/View Reports | Ladder Table from the menus, or type LADDER_TABLE at the command line.

Important Fixes

• [D5045] AutoMap Library - Using the "Scale to Previous Point" option can cause an error if there is not a previous point id.
• [D4071] Coordinate Order - the "List E,N (X,Y) Format" system toggle was not always retained.
• [F1759] Coordinate Order - the "List E,N (X,Y) Format" system toggle will now be honoured for the default column order within the Active Coordinate Editor and the Clusters report.
• [D3819] Dialogs - the CAD Lines, CAD Curves, Single Point Edit, and Quick Text Edit dialogs may not always appear when clicking an appropriate entity.
• [F1701] FieldGenius Export - linework is now automatically exported to FieldGenius in an R12 DXF format instead of the default DXF format to avoid exporting incompatible entity types.
• [D4011] Leica GSI Export - exporting a Leica GSI8 will display multiple "Save As" prompts which can result in an error writing out the data file.
• [D4789] LandXML Import - when importing points, the Description and Note were not set correctly. It now uses the "code" field (instead of "desc") to set the Description, and the "desc" field (instead of nothing) to set the Note.
• [F1406] LandXML Import - when importing plan features, IrregularLine elements are now supported and will draw a 3d polyline through the specified coordinates.
• [D2291] Linework - grip-editing a survey line did not disassociate the line from its previous points in the database.
• [D2779] Linework - moving a survey line removes its bearing and distance labels from the database.
• [D3955] Linework - entity snaps could not be used when drawing a curvey leader.
• [D5021] Linework - 3D .XYZ-Linework can become corrupted after a rescale.
• [D2813] Nikon Raw File Import - when importing a Nikon 700 raw file with ENZ coordinates, they would be interpreted and imported as NEZ coordinates.
• [D4816] Point Blocks - when creating point blocks (for export to Eagle Point, Softdesk, or Carlson) the first space character is not properly delimiting the description to find a match in the AutoMAP library to use the plotted description.
• [D2585] Polar Snapping - using polar snaps within the Design Horizontal Alignment (_alignment) command caused some on-screen graphical artifacts.
• [D3967] Polar Snapping - using polar snaps within the Connect Dots Point to Point (_connect_points) command did not work correctly.
• [D2581] Project Manager - deleting a project from the project manager did not delete its associated .msj database folder.
• [D4919] Rapid Transit Import - importing a rapid transit drawing could cause a crash.
• [D4840] Roading - applying a road template with 0:1 slope could cause a crash.
• [D4851] Rotate Blocks to Line - the Rotate Text to Line (_ms_rotoline) command stopped working with blocks in the last MSCAD 2010 service pack, this functionality has been restored.
• [D4987] Run As Administrator - the "Run as administrator" message that can appear under Windows Vista and Windows 7 have been reworded such that it does not only apply to Vista.
• [D5077] Saving - Error ASLK8K8K and a crash can occur when running QSAVE after running SAVEAS.
• [D4263] Scaling - scaling with a fractional value instead of a decimal value was being inappropriately intercepted by the inches-to-feet conversion added in MSCAD 2010.
• [D4852] Select Point - when selecting a point from the drawing which is stored in the coordinate database, if there is another points within either 0.01 or 0.001 units of it (depending on the command) the incorrect point may be retrieved from the database.

• [D5792] Import TDS RAW/RW5 - The last data line in the file may be skipped if the file does not end with a blank line.
• [D5842] Independent Point Numbers - IPN labels are displayed in the wrong position after a zoom extents.
• [D5909] Independent Point Numbers - IPN labels are displayed in the wrong position when in a UCS. As a temporary partial fix, IPNs are now disabled when in a UCS until this can be fixed.
• [D5991] Independent Point Numbers - IPN labels are not immediately updated when opening/switching a drawing.
• [D5992] Independent Point Numbers - IPN labels are not immediately updated when storing new points in a drawing.
• [D4167] Independent Point Numbers - Closing a drawing did not immediately update IPNs with the points in the new current drawing.
• [D3037] Labeling Defaults - Truetype fonts located in your system Fonts folder (for example, Arial.ttf) could not be specified in the Labeling Defaults dialog.
• [D5666] Labeling Defaults - Truetype fonts located in your system Fonts folder (for example, Arial.ttf) could cause "Font not found" error messages when drawing text.
• [D5622] Layer States - The LAYERSTATE command did not work, this has been fixed.
• [D5603] Linework - When erasing entities in a drawing that have unexpected EED, a crash could occur.
• [D5625] Linework - The PASTEORIG (Paste to Original Coordinates) command did not remove EED from the entities being copied, so further edits could inappropriately update the database.
• [D5718] Linework - Trimming a survey line removes the line from the database and erases its Bearing/Distance labels.
• [D5766] Linework - Deleting a layer via EXPLAYERS (Layers Explorer) that has points on it does not delete the points from the database.
• [D5494] Linework - Erasing a DIM can cause lines to be removed from the database.
• [D5997] Linework - Editing the length of a survey line via LEN command did not remove the line from the database.

• [D5715] Quick Posts - a crash can occur when exiting the Quick Posts command by pressing <Enter> instead of <Esc> at the Select Point prompt.
• [T1537] Regen Notifications - REGENTOOLTIP system variable is now set to Off by default. This causes the program to automatically regenerate your drawing instead of displaying the popup notification that a regen is required.
• [D5657] Roading - When editing the Vertical Curve Length in a Vertical Alignment, the curve is redrawn properly but its extended entity data is not updated, so the previous Curve Length value may continue to be used.
• [D2048] Save - SAVEAS did not immediately create the new filename’s .msj database folder until a database-accessing command would run.
• [D5929] Save - SAVEAS to a new filename also saves the original filename’s .msz database file, which may cause the drawing and database to get out of sync.
• [D3425] Save - SAVE to a new filename also saves the original filename’s .msz database file, which may cause the drawing and database to get out of sync.
• [D5980] Save - SAVEALL saves all open drawings with the current drawing’s .msz database file. As a preventative measure we have temporarily removed the SAVEALL command until this can be fixed.
• [D5694] Scale Factors - Scaling an input distance at the command line with the "s" suffix (like 100s) may result in a "Not a valid distance" error message.
• [D5960] Scale Factors - Scaling an input distance at the command line with feet/inches entry (like 10'6") does not work, result is in inches instead of feet.
• [D5863] Scale Factors - Existing Point Traverse (Old) command can write garbled "Direction of error" result if an Output Scale Factor is used.
• [D5901] Scale Viewport - The SCALE_VPORT (Scale Layout Viewport) command did not work with non-rectangular viewports. It now also supports polygonal, circular, elliptical, and splined viewports.
• [D5606] Snapping - Enabling Polar Snapping or Entity Snap Tracking modes may not work reliably because the AUTOSNAP system variable would not accept any value greater than 39.
• [D5653] Surface Modeling - The SVOL (Surface Volume) command's Volumes and Average Values report may generate incorrect Plan Area and Average Thickness values.
• [D5722] Surface Modeling - The CELEV (Change Elevation) command can produce an error message "Select is not an available tear-off menu name" immediately upon starting the command.
• [D5740] Surface Modeling - The SPLAN (Surface Plan View) command generates an error "Unable to recognize command ._PLANVIEW"
